The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
I am saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and everyone who loved her (by which I mean the world). She was one of those iconic figures always present and always there-- a figure to be admired, and a figure who will be missed.

Princess Elizabeth began her training as a mechanic in March 1945. She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. Newspapers at the time dubbed her “Princess Auto Mechanic.” - Vikki Hawkins ( A Princess At War: Queen Elizabeth II During World War II ) Noxon
